Pump Track
Planning permission has been granted by ELC for our proposed Pump Track.
the site is on the south side of Kellie Road, (to the south of the Learning Wood, formerly the clear-felled area)
We are in the process of finalising the contract for our contractor, Dave Crosbie of’Tree-ditions’. Dave has extensive previous experience of working with woodlands, timber and green-wood work, and pump track construction. We hope that work can start mid -November. The work is anticipated to take up to 8 weeks. 
The plan for the pump track will be available for viewing at the AGM.

Dog Nuisance
It has been brought to the attention of the committee, by several people, that loose dogs are intimidating walkers who are wary of dogs. 
If you are aware of problems, please contact us.
If you have a dog which you walk in the woods, please keep it on the lead or keep it under control.
Always pick up dog poos and put them in the bins at the path ends. 
Thanks.
